Have you ever seen a parrotfish? Parrotfish are not
related to the bird parrot, they just got their name because of their beak. One
type of parrotfish is the Princess Parrotfish. This parrotfish is very beautiful
because of its colorful scales. Another type is the Redband Parrotfish. This
parrotfish too is very colorful. Most parrotfish grow over 12 inches in
captivity and 60 inches in the wild.
